National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said the vetting of dozens of White House staffers is intended to ensure employees' commitment to President Donald Trump's “America First” agenda.

They were also instructed to return only at the request of their superiors, who are appointed by the Trump administration.

Mike Volz's decision was so unexpected that some employees were unable to leave the White House because their passes had been deactivated. As a result, the Secret Service had to manually open the gates to allow them to leave.

The former official noted that the mass layoffs of workers during the transition period could complicate the work of the new national security team, especially in addressing key issues.

The publication noted that dozens of officials sent were employees of various agencies, including the CIA, the National Security Agency, the State Department and the Pentagon.
